Compare and Save!
Here are real price comparisons from some of our competitors.
Prices shown are based on the same product, decoration method, quantity, and shipping destination whenever possible.
Why Do We Offer a Price Match?
Honestly, with over 10,000 items, prices shift constantly, so instead of chasing every competitor's prices, we'll match them, and you'll still get our 100% total satisfaction guarantee.
Why We Can Offer Better Pricing?
Many of our competitors have bigger overheads, more people, and bigger ad budgets; therefore, they have to charge more to cover their costs.
We take a different approach.
We work directly with the industry’s leading supply chain partners and keep our overhead low, allowing us to offer competitive pricing on thousands of custom promotional products, including tote bags, drinkware, apparel, tech accessories, trade show giveaways, and employee gifts.
When you compare apples to apples, you'll often discover that our pricing is already lower than the "big guy's"!
